The Afterpay checkout walkthrough (step by step)
- Design or pick your merch. Use the free AI design builder to make your own, or add a ready-made piece — a custom tee is $22.99, a hoodie is $42.99.
- Go to checkout. No account required to see payment options.
- Select Afterpay from the payment methods. It sits right alongside Cash App Pay, Shop Pay Installments, and PayPal — nothing buried.

What Afterpay costs on custom apparel
Pay-in-4 with Afterpay is interest-free when you pay on time — you pay the same price, just split four ways. On a $42.99 hoodie that's roughly $10.75 today and three more payments of the same. The only cost to watch is a late fee if a payment misses, which Afterpay sets. There is no fee for using it on schedule, and — to be clear — pay-in-4 is not a loan with ongoing interest.
Afterpay eligibility, plainly
- 18 or older with a valid US billing address.
- A debit or credit card Afterpay can charge.
- An instant approval decision at checkout — pay-in-4 uses a soft check that does not hurt your score. More on that in does BNPL affect your credit score and BNPL with no hard credit check.
